While it might not have been the biggest box office performer,Challengershas proved a real word-of-mouth hit, and will surely draw in plenty of viewers. There’s no waiting about either – as it arrives as the clock ticks into October day one.

The movie offers up a steamy love triangle with Zendaya at the heart of it, all centring around a trio of professional tennis players who can’t quite see eye to eye when it comes to either love or their respective careers. With real tension and some staggering on-court moments to enjoy, it’s a sexy, brilliant watch.
